Mint Julep University

Spoon University

Kentucky Derby Museum | Churchill Downs, Louisville Kentucky

Ingredients:

    • Fresh mint leaves
    • Granulated sugar
    • Crushed ice
    • Kentucky bourbon whiskey
    • Mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

    • Begin by placing about 6-8 fresh mint leaves and a teaspoon of granulated sugar into a sturdy glass or silver julep cup.
    • Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar. This will release the mint’s essential oils and flavor.
    • Fill the glass or cup halfway with crushed ice.
    • Pour 2 ½ ounces of Kentucky bourbon whiskey over the ice.
    • Stir gently to combine the ingredients and chill the mixture.
    • Top off the glass with more crushed ice, filling it to the brim.
    • Garnish your mint julep with a fresh mint sprig for aroma and presentation.
    • Insert a straw and serve immediately.
